Opening the ayah…
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ
'Inna -llaha huwa rrazzāqu dhū l-quwati l-matīnu
For Allah is He Who gives (all) Sustenance,- Lord of Power,- Steadfast (for ever).

4-I guide
Allah is the One who provides, the Lord of all strength, the Firm.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Where does everything we eat really come from?"
Watch the Noor Kids video How does everything come from Allah? Ar Razzaq.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which names of Allah are in this ayah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does Allah feed every creature on Earth?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Adh-Dhariyat is surah 51. Find ayah 58. The key words ar-Razzaq dhul-quwwat al-matin mean the Provider, Owner of all strength, the Firm. Allah feeds every bird, fish and person on Earth. His strength never runs out. We work and plan, but our provision comes from Him.
Fact: How many kinds of animals live on Earth, roughly?
Ages 5–8: Food trail. Trace one food back to its start: shop, farm, rain, sun.
Ages 9–12: Provider list. List ten kinds of provision Allah gives besides food.
Finish with: "I found that Earth has about ___ kinds of animals."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will share some of my food or snacks with someone."
Action: Share some of your food or snacks with someone.
